Summer Holiday Events In Hertfordshire | For Ages 0 +

I am always stuck for things to do in the summer holidays, even when I was a child myself the ideas went out the window. Back then there was no one stop shop for events that were on in the summer so I’ve decided to write this post, that will be updated throughout the summer.
I hope theres something that takes your fancy & if not pop back soon, new bits will be added whenever I find them!
